My largest chicken, a Rhode Island Red, grabbed, killed and ate a robin not to long ago. She is a little scary. :)

I have one in my nest box, my boxes are one box seperated into three. I put the heater under the box sandwiched between the wood and a second board to hold it. It is on a temperature timer with the water heater so it only comes on at freezing temp. It doesn't come on very often but it does work...
